Ford Anglia 383 Stroker 1948

General description : 1948 Anglia Custom Panel Van Thames or Anglia?  Ford or English Ford?  Depending on your location in the world the 1948 Custom you see here can go by a few different names.  These Anglias were manufactured by Ford initially in England before they began exporting them back into the states.  This 48 is one cool car and is a Panel van or delivery model which is pretty unique.  Anglias aren't the easiest cars to find to begin with and the fact that this one is the commercial version is pretty cool.  British commerce relied on these delivery vans for many decades but this one is now living life as a custom show car.  It is painted in a beautiful Purple paint that has a great shine and features a custom mural on the rear panels.  The mural features a grim reaper character carving headstones with the cars theme "Bad to the Bone" etched in and on another "Mr. Thames 1948- ".  The mural fits with the look well and the car definitely has a theme as it also features a skeleton pushing a coffin on the back with "We deliver" painted out and "Bad to the Bone" embroidered on the inside.  The car has a nicely chromed 3 hole grill, billet side mirrors, chrome headlights, chrome turn signals, a custom chrome rear bumper.  The rear doors open to each side and give full access to the rear storage area.  The car has a slight rake and looks incredibly tough rolling down the road.  It rides on American Racing Torq Thrust wheels and was tubbed to make room for the wide tires in the back.  Take off the hood and you will see the car is powered by a nicely built 383 stroker motor that runs great.  These motors have a lot of power and this one sounds awesome through the custom side exhaust.  It is fitted with a custom blower style scoop, Edelbrock carburetor, an Edelbrock intake, and street fire ignition.  The firewall and hood sides have been covered with custom cut and mounted aluminum panels.  Paired with the engine is a Turbo 400 automatic transmission and 12 bolt rear end.  The suspension was all redone with coil overs in front/rear.   The interior of the car is done in a Black and Grey combo with custom inserts in the headliner.  It has dual high back bucket seats up front and a custom built center console that houses a B&M shifter and aftermarket tachometer.  On the center of the dash the car has aftermarket Stewart Warner gauges mounted in a woodgrain bezel.  The car has a ton of storage space in back so your ice chests, chairs, show signs and cleaning supplies can all comfortably ride to the show with you.  This is one cool car that is extremely unique.  If you like showing up to the local show in something that nobody else has then this is definitely the car for you.  Personally we think adding a custom coffin mounted in the back would be the perfect conversation piece but whatever you decide to do with it this Anglia is one cool classic! Make it yours while you still can for only $29,500.00!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
